General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Liberal Democrats: 9,420
This is really bad for the Tories, the heavy vote splitting between Labour and the Lib Dems happened, and they still lost what used to be a safe seat.
One of their safest seats in the country. I suspect Nadine's personal popularity in the area really didn't help, gives me hope Truss could lose an even safer seat at the GE.
I think she'd like that. Frees her up to rake in the money on the conference speaking circuit and play Sim Economy.
